Chapter 30 I will raid your house myself!
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't have the ability to deceive him all your life, then don't lie to him.
Zhao Wumian had seen such a record in the archives.
In the 12th year of Hongwu, Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia and a hero of the founding of the country, was stationed in Guangzhou Prefecture. During this period, the Nanhai Gate occupied Linggui Island in the South China Sea, captured fishermen and went into the sea to collect [Fulingzhu] to make medicine, causing complaints from the surrounding people.
In order to make Zhu Liangzu shut up, the leader of Nanhaimen specially gave him his own daughter and 100,000 taels of silver.
Zhu Liangzu therefore turned a blind eye to the unlawful behavior at Nanhai Gate.
Daotong, the prefect of Guangzhou, was a man of integrity. He insisted on sending troops to clear out the rebellion, but Zhu Liangzu repeatedly obstructed him. Daotong could no longer tolerate this and was ready to report Zhu Liangzu to the emperor. However, Zhu Liangzu took the initiative to report Daotong, falsely accusing him of disrespecting his superiors and insulting the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know the details and mistakenly trusted Zhu Liangzu, which led to the unjust killing of Daotong. When he learned about the incident, he ordered the Jinyiwei to kill 786 people in Nanhaimen and tortured them all! Then he summoned Zhu Liangzu and his sons back to Nanjing and personally beat them to death with whips!
This is the consequence of deceiving Zhu Yuanzhang.
The frame-up must have Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, otherwise the show cannot go on at all - Lin Xian cannot make it up. Whether he wrote the letter or communicated with the Japanese, it will be known once his soul is searched. If it is discovered later, Zhu Yuanzhang will be furious.
Therefore, not only his approval but also his cooperation is required to make the fake into real.
Only then will collaborating with the Japanese become real collaborating with the Japanese, and only then will collaborating with the enemy become real collaborating with the enemy!
Fei Ju must die. As for Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong, they were his sworn brothers and the first group of Hu party members exposed in history. They either deserved to be put to death or Zhu Yuanzhang looked down upon them.
Anyway, it was Zhu who sent them away in the first batch, so there was nothing wrong in making a fuss about them. What's more, those letters in the box that slandered the emperor and humiliated his subjects were all true, leaving them with no way to defend themselves!
Zhao Wumian was quite confident about this. He knew that Lao Zhu would most likely accept the knife he handed over, but he couldn't help but feel worried. He only felt relieved after he actually passed the test.
The two men left Wuying Palace.
Mao Xiang had a new understanding of Zhao Wumian. This boy was really cruel. Fei Ju and the others wanted to kill him, but he was not ambiguous at all and turned around and gave such a return gift. The Fei family was finished!
On the other side, Yun Qi also told Zhu Biao about Zhao Wumian's plan.
Only then did Zhu Biao understand why Zhu Yuanzhang said this was a war.
Now Zhao Wumian is the center of the storm!
As long as he takes [Bu Ran Chen] out of the capital, those who want to take the treasure will guess that he, who has learned the "Actor's Treasure Mirror", will be the best candidate to take the treasure. If they stare at him, they will stare at the treasure! For those who want revenge, whether for Hu Weiyong or for themselves, after leaving the capital, without any constraints, it is also the best time to take action!
After the news was spread by some interested parties, countless people stared at him and stared at his [Incorruptibility].
Zhu Biao said gently, "Since Captain Zhao is the one who made the plan, he should have made a plan long ago. If you have any plan, just tell me directly and I will cooperate with you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Wumian said directly: "Now their eyes are all on me, and I can take advantage of it. The emperor asked Your Highness to go to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum in Chuzhou in the name of ancestor worship. I think I can let a large number of shadow guards go first, and then reduce the entourage appropriately. I will hide in disguise among them. They will think that I am using Your Highness as a cover to secretly take the treasure. When we go our separate ways in Chuzhou, I will use myself as bait. They don't want me to meet Your Highness, so they can only seize this opportunity to go and take the treasure and wait for an opportunity to assassinate! Your Highness can follow with a large army, surround Shenxiu Lake, wait for the explosives to explode, and the lake water to flood back, and then catch all the rebels in one fell swoop!"
"..."
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that this plan was a bit cruel, if he could eliminate the rebels at the lowest cost, it would also save the army from casualties. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let the two hundred shadow guards go first..."
Yun Qi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you can't do that. Your Highness is worth a fortune. There are thieves all around us now. You must not let your guard down!"
Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Don't we still have you?"
Yun Qi opened his mouth: "But..."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know. Captain Zhao meant to use fewer ceremonial guards, hide the blades, and tighten the guards in secret so that it will be easier to act. I will ask my father to send more shadow guards to accompany us."
The Imperial Guards are an important force in protecting the palace.
But with Zhu Yuanzhang around, no one had the courage to break into the palace, so it wasn't a big problem to just mobilize more shadow guards for travel.
Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Wumian said: "There is one more thing."
Zhu Biao said, "Captain Zhao, it's okay to speak frankly."
Zhao Wumian took out the diagram of the mechanism and presented it to him: "The underground palace is as solid as a rock. There is only one vent that can be blown open! Your Highness, please send a few trusted people to bury the explosives in the places marked on the diagram. The more the better."
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Captain Zhao Mingmin, leave this matter to me. However, after you use yourself as bait and ignite the explosives, do you have any way to retreat?"
Zhao Wumian said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The stone formation is a dead end, but also a way out. I will be fine."
"That's good."
Zhu Biao thought about it again and again, without missing a word: "So, follow the plan and set off tomorrow morning!"
"Yes."
Everyone bowed in response.
……
When Zhao Wumian left the palace again, it was already late at night.
Jiang Huan went to arrange the arrest of Lin Xian, Mao Xiang also planned to let Lin Xian collude with the Japanese, and only Zhao Wumian was walking on the bluestone street. When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a man in red feeding the parrot Xiaokui in front of the door.
"The master is back! The master is back!"
When Xiaokui saw Zhao Wumian, she immediately threw away the sweet pear in Shen Weiyang's hand, flew onto Zhao Wumian's shoulder, and rubbed his neck affectionately.
Shen Weiyang laughed and cursed: "You heartless little thing!"
Zhao Wumian returned the Qiankun bag to her: "Thank you very much for this time. I will treat you to a meal some other day to show my appreciation."
Shen Weiyang immediately asked: "When is the next day?"
"..."
Zhao Wumian paused and said, "Two or three days, until I finish my work. Maybe by then, it will be too late for you to hide, and you may not be willing to eat at the same table with me."
Shen Weiyang's mind raced, and he frowned and said, "Master Zhao doesn't seem like someone who underestimates himself."
Zhao Wumian said calmly: "No one in this world is worthy of my 'self-deprecation'."
Being arrogant and proud is his style.
Since it is not a problem with people, then it is a problem with things.
Shen Weiyang roughly guessed that it might be related to the underground palace.
Zhao Wumian asked her to keep it secret for a month, so he must have a plan. His situation is not good now, and he has made many enemies. The most likely thing is to use the underground palace with many traps to wipe them out in one fell swoop. In this way, he will be known as a lackey of the court and a ruthless and vicious person. Naturally, everyone will be afraid of him...
"I'm waiting for your invitation."
Shen Weiyang smiled and said, "Don't mess with the food." Then he waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving first."
After that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. This woman was really weird... He turned around to enter the gate, and suddenly a purple light lit up in the corner a hundred meters away, and two figures emerged from the darkness.
"Ostrich?"
Zhao Wumian recognized this innate magical power, which was the same as Hua Hanchun's, and could conceal his tracks. The people who came were Gu Changge, who he had met once before, and his followers.
The art of concealing one's form was performed by this follower.
The one who comes is not kind.
Zhao Wumian held the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"..."
Gu Changge's face looked extremely ugly.
In order to prevent Shen Weiyang from finding out, he went out personally this time, bringing Ma San with him, and stood guard in front of the Dinghuai Gate. Fengshengshou was surrounded by strong winds and thick fog, so he couldn't see how many people were in the fog. But then he followed Shen Weiyang to this courtyard and watched her wait outside the gate for an hour!
A whole hour!
During this hour, she did not enter the yard, but just waited for people and played happily with the parrot.
There are hundreds of these exotic beasts in her house, and she is used to seeing them!
The only reason she could keep smiling for so long was that she loved the parrot and loved the people in it. Then she met the owner of the parrot, the owner of the courtyard...
That Jinyiwei!
Zhao Wumian!
Shen Weiyang even gave him her personal [Qiankun Bag]!
What's in that bag? You can imagine, life-saving panacea, emergency underwear...
We have been guarding against it for so long!
This woman actually cares so much about this court lackey whom she met for the first time!
Aren't you a man of few words? What was that smile of yours just now?
Aren't you busy with business? What about the active invitation just now?
Bitch!!
Gu Changge said coldly: "Stay away from her!"
"Pfft!"
The situation was so weird that Zhao Wumian couldn't help laughing out loud. He said bluntly, "Are you blind? Can't you see that I'm wearing this official uniform? Who do you think you are? Why do you come to meddle in my affairs? A deputy chief envoy of the Inspectorate gives you such courage? You let me make decisions? Even if your teacher comes in person, he has no right to order me around! Do you understand?"
Zhao Wumian simply couldn't understand his train of thought. Is this guy from Beijing?
Have you become stupid studying in the Imperial College?
Gu Changge's face became increasingly gloomy.
"What about Jin Yiwei?"
Ma San spoke for Gu Changge and said proudly, "Marquis of Ji'an Lu Zhongheng is my son's uncle! The adopted son of the current emperor! Who is closer, the emperor's personal army or his adopted son?"
Yo.
Zhao Wumian was surprised, what a coincidence.
As a sign of my respect, I will raid your house tomorrow. I will go there myself!
Seeing his strange expression, Ma San thought he was afraid, and became more satisfied: "When my master followed the emperor through life and death, you didn't even know where to play in the mud! Even the commander of the Pacification Division had to be respectful to my master, let alone you! As the saying goes, listen to others' advice and eat your fill, you should also consider your own weight!"
Zhao Wumian smiled, and the next moment, his figure flashed, and "Jinghong Treading Snow Steps" transformed into six clones that rushed forward!
Gu Changge's face changed, and he immediately took action, performing the Confucian "Cang Yun Palm". His palm was as powerful as flowing clouds, passing through the clones, only to see the three clones shattered. Gu Changge immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly reached out to support Ma San beside him.
Zhao Wumian waved his cloak to push him back, then grabbed Ma San's throat with his backhand.
"Then how much weight do you have?"
Zhao Wumian exerted force on his hands, and activated Taotie's magical power [Devouring the Heaven and Eating the Earth]. Ma San's true energy and essence rushed into Zhao Wumian's body like a dam bursting!
Ma San clearly felt that his Qi was draining away quickly. His whole body was shaking and he was extremely terrified. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Master, save me!"
"stop it now!"
Gu Changge was furious: "How dare you hurt people wantonly! Hurt my people!"
"So what if I'm injured!"
Zhao Wumian only took two breaths to drain all of Ma San's power. His true energy merged into his dantian, and he was promoted to the second level of the second realm in one fell swoop. He sneered and said, "He talked to me about weight, so I told him what weight means! How dare a servant talk nonsense to me! It's true that dogs rely on the power of their masters. If you can't manage your own dog, I'll help you!"
He threw Ma San in front of Gu Changge like throwing away garbage.
In the blink of an eye, Ma San lost almost all his energy and seemed to have aged twenty years. His hair turned grey, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body became as soft as a puddle of mud. He was completely useless.
Gu Changge was extremely angry: "You! You actually..."
He already knew Zhao Wumian's identity and what he had been doing recently.
The three Huaixi nobles suffered misfortune because of him, but his uncle Lu Zhongheng was different. He was the adopted son of the current emperor. Like Mu Ying, he was adopted when he was young and was highly favored!
Gu Changge never expected that Zhao Wumian was so bold that he even dared to ignore his uncle!
This is simply asking for death!
"If they disagree with someone, they will suck their essence and destroy their martial arts! Can the Jinyiwei be so arrogant?!"
Gu Changge was not a person who would just accept things unnecessarily. He burst out with his power at the peak of the second realm and said grimly, "There are laws in our Ming Dynasty. If you break the law knowingly, your crime will be even more serious. As the director of the Imperial College, I cannot sit idly by and watch the villains commit crimes. Today, I will send you to see Jiang Zhenfu of the Pacification Office and ask him to give an explanation to the government and the people!"
Gu Changge displayed his body skills, his fingers formed into a sword, and a huge and strong sword energy rose up, upright and majestic, as if condensing the righteousness of heaven and earth, and attacked Zhao Wumian.
"admire!"
Zhao Wumian was impressed by this scene. He dodged while dodging, praising: "You are indeed a Confucian, a scholar! You followed Shen Weiyang and regarded her as your forbidden lover. You used all kinds of despicable means to try to win her heart. You can also use such a powerful "Yangwu Sword". It's amazing! First you threaten, and when the threat fails, you use justice to pressure others. If the Imperial College is full of people like you, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
The most famous moves of Guozijian and Fengmanlou are "Yangwu Jing" and "Yangwu Sword".
These two sets of martial arts are said to have originated from Mencius's "I am good at nurturing my great and righteous spirit."
"Yangwu Jing" cultivates the noble spirit, and "Yangwu Sword" cultivates the noble heart.
The more righteous your heart is, the more righteous your sword is, and the more powerful it is.
Gu Changge's character and actions have nothing to do with the word "Haoran", but their power is not low. This shows that he feels from the bottom of his heart that everything he does is "just" and "natural".
This shows how distorted their values are and how low their bottom line is.
Gu Changge is Lu Zhongheng's nephew and the director of the Imperial College, a fifth-rank official. In terms of relationship and power, he is superior to Zhao Wumian. Now he speaks of righteousness and thinks he is right. He attacks without mercy, determined to teach Zhao Wumian a lesson. He points his sword and shoots continuously, with sword energy directed at his vital points.
Zhao Wumian dodged and watched, watched and learned, taking in all the thirty-six moves of Yangwu Sword.
Zhao Wumian is not a gentleman either, but he is more righteous than Gu Changge.
I might be in the wrong if I hit someone else, but why would I be in the wrong if I hit a piece of trash like you?
The true energy changed.
The formless true qi instantly transformed into the majestic energy of the "Yangwu Sutra". With a backhand thrust, the sword energy surged like a rushing river.
"Yang Wu Jian" - The noble spirit will live forever!
Today I will use your martial arts to beat you like a dog!
With two fingers facing each other, the two sword energies collided in the air, making a hissing sound.
Gu Changge's heart trembled, thinking to himself that the rumor was actually true. He really could learn other people's martial arts just by "watching", but he shouldn't use my martial arts against me.
Gu Changge's mind moved, and he activated his innate magical power. A bit of poison gushed out from his dantian, poured into his two fingers, and forced it towards Zhao Wumian...
